2007/2008 SE Dyna vs. 2006 SE Fat Boy
« on: April 26, 2009, 08:12:51 PM »

I know that this question is very subjective.  But I am going back and forth between purchasing an SE Dyna or an SE Fat Boy and wanted to see what you like/dislike about your bikes.

I've owned 3 HDs in the past (2002 Deuce, 2002 Fat Boy, and 2006 Street Glide), so in general know about the Fat Boy ride, handling, and comfort.  I have ridden a 2006 SE Far Boy.  I've not ridden the SE Dyna (closest I've ridden would be a Street Bob).

Thanks in advance.  John

The only reason I did not include the 2005 SE Fat Boy on my list is that I prefer the paint schemes on the 2006 models (particularly the autumn haze/blue model).

I have been tracking them on Ebay and if you are patient, I have seen them sell as low as $22k.  Well worth the money.  I have no clue why anyone would buy a stock 07 08 Fatboy new.  I had a 03 Fatboy and there is a difference. The 06 is smaller and rides a bit harsher compared to the 03.   I took the 03 to Sturgis and back from Seattle but would be afraid to do that with my 06.  Still, the 06 SE Fatboy is a very very nice bike.

The other SE I like is the Springer..

Not sure if we're supposed to talk $$$ on this site, but the 2006 SE Fat Boys and the 2007/2008 SE Dynas are going on eBay for well under $22k.  More like upper teens.

if under 20, I would bet the reserve is not met.  Sure there will be one or two that are dumped at below 20k but I would be those have issues or high mileage...

I know I ain't buying new any more.  I also have a 03 RG and will wait a year or two to pick up my 09 SE RG.

Definitely a buyer's market.  High teens are buy-it-now prices.  And I've seen plenty at dealers for high teens too.  And every one of them with under 5,000 miles.  Many in the 2,000-3,000 mile range, so virtually new bikes.

Unfortunately, I broke my foot last night...so I am likely going to wait a couple of months now anyhow.
